GEGHAMYAN AND SERGE SARGSYAN HAVE MADE A DECISION
Lragir, Armenia
Nov 27 2007
The leader of the National Solidarity Party Artashes Geghamyan
confirmed in a briefing on November 27 that he had met with
Serge Sargsyan at the house of Serge Sargsyan’s in-law, the media
had reported. "I met not only with Serge Sargsyan but also with
Robert Kocharyan, Vahan Hovanisyan, Armen Rustamyan, I had several
meetings with Paruir Hairikyan, there was a group meeting, with
Arthur Baghdasaryan, Stepan Demirchyan. The first meeting was with
Levon Ter-Petrosyan, proposed by Levon Ter-Petrosyan and Babken
Ararxyan. I did not refuse. We met at Babken Ararxyan’s place, but
the pro-All-Armenian Movement media did not write why they did not
meet at the office of the National Solidarity Party or the office of
Armat. It means it was a money matter there too," Artashes Geghamyan
jokes, hinting at the suggestion of the media that Geghamyan was
given money during the meeting with Serge Sargsyan’s in-law.
As to the meeting with Robert Kocharyan, Artashes Geghamyan says it
was at the office of the president, on the occasion of his statement
on September 7 when he called the opposition and the government to
come together and discuss the problems that the country is facing.
Geghamyan says the president reacted to his statement. As to his
meeting with Serge Sargsyan, he says he had informed all his colleagues
about the meeting on the eve of the meeting.
"Why at home because I would not go to the government. Also because
Aram Mikhailich Minasyan (Serge Sargsyan’s in-law) has been a
friend of mine since we were students, who was an excellent student,
the president of the scientific society of the medical university,
while I was the president of the students department of the Central
Committee of the Young Communists. Here is the secret," Artashes
Geghamyan says. According to him, he and Serge Sargsyan discussed
the lamentable state of the country.
"I mean divide, I mean developments which may lead to conflicts. I
expressed my opinion, Mr. Sargsyan expressed his opinion. The
primary decision we made is that everything should be done to prevent
destabilization in the country and not to let our foes, our neighbors
use that opportunity. This was the core. It also happened that soon
I will have to meet with Levon Ter-Petrosyan, with Robert Kocharyan,
with Serge Sargsyan and with any political leader," Artashes Geghamyan
says. He says he is doing this for the sake of the state, therefore he
is ready to meet with people whom he considers as the criminal leaders
of the criminal regime. He means Robert Kocharyan and Serge Sargsyan,
which Geghamyan and his fellows have stated for a number of times.
